ATHENS, Alabama - A woman who police say knocked a shopper to the ground Monday afternoon in the Lowe's parking lot and repeatedly kicked her before taking her iPhone and fleeing the scene was arrested after deputies stopped the getaway car.

Rikki Lee Corbishley, 32, of 22326 Holt Road in Athens, was charged with third-degree robbery by Athens Police, according to Police Chief Floyd Johnson. She was transferred to Limestone County Jail. No bond had been set Tuesday.

The man driving the car, whose name was not released, was wanted on a warrant for unknown charges in Limestone County. He was also arrested.

Police were initially called to Lowe's when people reported a struggle between two women in the parking lot. When they arrived, the victim was still at the scene but a witness said Corbishley left in a car driven by man. The witness followed the car for a while until Limestone County Sheriff's deputies spotted it on Oakdale Road and pulled it over.

The victim told officers she was walking to her car when she was approached by a woman asking a question. The woman then grabbed her iPhone.

"After a brief struggle over the phone the victim said the lady hit her several times causing her to fall to the ground," Johnson said. "Once on the ground the victim was hit and kicked several times."

The victim's cell phone was recovered from Corbishley's purse.
